Make a classic, hearty Irish Boiled Dinner with minimal effort. This Slow Cooker Corned Beef recipe yields incredibly tender meat and perfectly cooked vegetables for a simple, comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (3 to 4 pound) corned beef brisket with spice packet
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 medium carrots, peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
  • 1.5 pounds small red potatoes, halved
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, cut into 8 wedges

Instructions

  1. Place the corned beef brisket, fat side up, in the basin of your slow cooker. Sprinkle the contents of the spice packet over the meat.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the beef broth, brown sugar, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Pour this liquid mixture over the corned beef in the slow cooker.
  3. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 to 10 hours, or on HIGH for 4 to 5 hours, until the meat is very tender.
  4. About 1 hour before the cooking time is complete, arrange the carrots and potatoes around the corned beef.
  5. Add the cabbage wedges on top of the potatoes and carrots. If necessary, add a small amount of water or broth to the liquid in the cooker to ensure there is enough moisture for the vegetables.
  6. Continue cooking, covered, until the vegetables are tender, about 1 hour.
  7. Carefully remove the corned beef to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
  8. Serve the sliced corned beef with the cooked cabbage, potatoes, and carrots. Spoon some of the cooking liquid over the meat and vegetables.

Notes

  • For an even juicier result, you can skip adding the cabbage until the last 30 minutes of cooking time.
  • Save your leftover corned beef to make Corned Beef Hash or Reuben Sandwiches the next day.
  • If you prefer a stronger spice flavor, add 1 teaspoon of mustard seed to the cooking liquid.
